2022.09.30 06:34 queenIB5 [PC] [2005-2012] Online Educational Game For Kids

Platform(s): PC (More specifically a school computer)
Genre: Educational website for kids (roughly ages 5-10)
Estimated year of release: 2005-2012
Graphics/art style: Brightly colored, animated--similar style to other children's educational websites, like starfall.com. Very basic, cartoony drawing style.
Notable characters: The main character was a cartoon red computer mouse (a boy) that also had animal mouse features. He was the shape of a computer mouse with a pointy noise and two long front mouse teeth, possibly whiskers too. He definitely had mouse ears and I think I remember him having short, dark brown or black hair on top of his head, in between the ears.
A blue paintbrush (I think a girl), with the bristles of the paint brush being where here face was, and the tip of the bristles were probably meant to look like her hair (like in a ponytail, sort of?). The stick of the brush was her "body." The stick was blue and the bristles were brown.
I know there was a green character, but can't picture exactly what it was. There were a few other characters (maybe a total of 10 or less), probably each another color. Each character was related to technology and other school subjects, and the games you'd play with each character would usually correspond with its theme. I think all the characters were inanimate objects, so no animals or people.
Notable gameplay mechanics: This game from Starfall is the best example I can give. They have very similar styles.
Other details: The game was sort of like a map if I remember right, kind of like the Funbrain Playground&psig=AOvVaw2q06Hq-gELKHBBJqO_igkt&ust=1664597777456000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAwQjRxqFwoTCOjznZ_Uu_oCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAD), but maybe more of a map style, where you can move onto the next thing after completing the one before it. I think you could click on each character to do some sort of mini-game, interactive video, or something along those lines. Each character had different lessons that coincided with what they were (for example, you would do arts and crafts with the paint brush).
I have one specific memory of one of the mini-games or videos or whatever they were. It was one with the red mouse wearing headphones while a firetruck had its siren on. I think the mouse was in the driveway of the fire station, blocking the firetruck from leaving. I think the lesson had something to do with teaching kids what it means to be deaf?
I have been searching for this game for close to 10 years. I played it in my computer class in elementary school, probably around the second grade (right around 2010). I was almost positive the website was "123techknowledgey.com" but I obviously find nothing when I search that. I know it had technology somehow incorporated, and I thought it used "knowledge" as a play on word, too. It also could have been "ABC" instead of "123." I don't think you had to have an account or anything like that to play. It was just overall a pretty similar website to starfall.com.

2022.09.07 03:12 ghosttricked [PC] [Early 2000's] Old Web-Based Educational Games?

When I was young, I was homeschooled for a few years. I remember using a platform called Time4Learning.com. This website is still around, but as years have gone by it has definitely changed.
Time4Learning is a paid subscription to all the educational materials. It has lots of lesson plans and homework assignments automatically in the site, so long as you're paying for it. But aside from the education, it also had an arcade. If you did enough lessons, you could earn a quick trip to the arcade. If you remember the Funbrain Arcade, it's a little like that. The games all are educational based, but they were fun to me back then anyway. I played the same ones over and over because I liked them so much. And some of those games are what I want to ask about.
The first game I have in mind has to do with animal science.
Platform(s): PC/Web
Genre: Point and click? Puzzle?
Estimated year of release: 2001?
Graphics/art style: Because the game takes place at night, it's a bit hard to see the graphics because of the darkness. However, when the animals are found, they are brought in the view of the player's flashlight.
Notable characters: A group of children out camping at night. Also has a bunch of animals.
Notable gameplay mechanics: The game begins with a group of kids camping at night. All of a sudden, they hear a sound that is unusual. Scared, they bring out a flashlight and look around. So now the gameplay begins: your mouse cursor is a flashlight. Move the mouse around to find animals in the night. Once the kids see what's making the weird noises, they aren't so scared anymore, and the game ends.
Other details: One of the animals is an owl. I vaguely remember some skittering insects. I think the game had a link to an animal science website at the very end, but I might be wrong about that.

The second game I have in mind is about English, writing, and words.
Platform(s): PC/Web
Genre: Puzzle, Quiz, Rougelike(?)
Estimated year of release: 2005?
Graphics/art style: Very cartoonish, bright colors. The game takes place in a wizard's tower with unique monsters and magic.
Notable characters: The Wizard, whom you play as. You explore a dungeon and look for keys to open doors with and escape the tower. You also need to answer the monster's questions to go through more doors.
Notable gameplay mechanics: As I mentioned before, you explore a magical tower and answer English questions to escape. I call it a Rougelike because of this aspect of the gameplay, and it reminds me of Pokemon Mystery Dungeon or a 2D Zelda game, just without the enemies or upgrades. Since the game is focused on exploration, it's more of a maze.
This game also had audio for the monsters. Each monster's voice lines had to do with their question, usually just reading it aloud as well as the answers.
One specific voiced line/question that I remember very well: The wise old owl sat in an oak. The more he heard, the less he spoke. The less he spoke, the more he heard. Why can't we all be like this wise old bird?
I believe the question is asking 'What kind of writing is this?' and the answer is something like 'a Poem'. But I don't remember the question; literally just the poem audio. I also believe that one of the questions asked 'what is Onomatopoeia?' but I also don't know if this is real.
Other details: This was one of my favorite games because it was so gamified, and because it was so visually unique. I believe that a different company made it than the company that hosts Time4Learning, however, I don't really know who that could be.
------
I don't know if any of this is enough information to get answers, but I just wanted to type all of this information somewhere anyways. Because the source is a subscription service, I don't expect anybody to pay real money to try and figure out if these games still exist. But either way, I just wanted to post and get it off my mind.
Here's a link about the Time4Learning Playground, the only source I have so far: https://www.time4learning.com/playground.htm
Here's a quote straight from this site: "The Time4Learning Playground relies on a suite of licensed games as well as a white list of great online sites and activities like PBS Kids, BBC Interactive, Sesame Street, Pauly’s Playhouse, VeggieTales, and Starfall." I believe that if some of the games I played are on other websites as well, hopefully, I can find them again. So that's another reason why I'm posting all this, just to put all I can remember in one spot.
Thanks for reading and good luck!
